Amawele
Radar Maker has just completed a new website for Amawele, an organisation that facilitates the ‘twinning’ of schools in Ireland and South Africa in order to promote a cultural exchange between the two countries.
The new website has a content management system (CMS) both for project coordinators and participating schools, enabling each school to maintain their own blog relating to the linking process.
Each school is twinned with one other, and the students and teachers exchange information with over a period of time to gain insight into some of the practical realities facing their counterparts. The new Amawele website will enable schools to maintain their own web space, where they can record this process and share their experiences with others.
In addition to the twinning project, Amawele work with around 50 schools in the Eastern and Western Capes, identifying needs and supporting them through new facilities, materials, training, food and healthcare. The new website will also serve to document this important work.
